Our parents invest a lot in us. They start out by spending countless sleepless nights, feeding us, bathing us, changing us and rocking us to sleep. As we reach adolescence, they take care of our education, our friendships, our hobbies and our quirks. They guide us towards right and wrong, they teach us values and how to live in a civilized society.
When we grow older – they stand by us through our trials and tribulations. They give us comfort and advice when we are down, and rejoice with us in our highs. So, when there comes a time to celebrate this special bond, we often find ourselves in a fix. What do you gift a parent who has already given you so much?
While no gift in the world can repay the love and devotion with which our parents took care of us, it’s always good to share tokens of appreciation! And really, it’s the thought that matters when gifting.
With that in mind, we have compiled a list of 53 thoughtful gifts for the elderly that they will absolutely love and use in their day to day life.
In this list, we have included practical items that they can use everyday to make their lives easier. We have also included some interesting and “different” gifting ideas for the more wacky parents!
